I am working on optimizing this file further so the compression is less intrusive to the Ninja footage.

I also have an uncompressed ProRes 1080p file that I am working on getting online for more detailed analysis. If you are interested in hosting it (~1.3gb), I'm all ears. ;)

The original file available for download (above) looks good, but the gap isn't quite as wide as with the uncompressed file. Still, the differences are enough that one should be able to see the benefits of shooting straight to the Ninja. Not only are the workflow savings significant, but the quality difference when putting footage through a grade is pronounced.
